Hiromi the Trio Project Muga Miyahara Hiromi The Trio Project Featuring Hiromi Anthony Jackson Simon Phillips PROGRAM There will be an intermission. Friday, April 1 @ 8 PM Zellerbach Theatre Media Sponsor: 15/16 Season 35 PROGRAM NOTES The songs performed will be mainly from Hiromi's new release Spark and the titles will be announced from the stage. ABOUT THE ARTISTS Hiromi (Composer, piano) Japan has produced an impressive assemblage of jazz pianists, from Toshiko Akiyoshi and Makoto Ozone to Junko Onishi. And now, well into the change of the 21st century, the pianist/composer Hiromi Uehara is the latest in that line of amazing musicians. Ever since the 2003 release of her debut Telarc CD, Another Mind, Hiromi has electrified audiences and critics around the world, with a creative energy that encompasses and eclipses the boundaries of jazz, classical and pop parameters, taking improvisation and composition to new heights of complexity and sophistication. Her CD, Alive, her ninth as a leader, features her critically-acclaimed Trio Project, consisting of contrabass guitarist Anthony Jackson (Steely Dan, Paul Simon, Michel Camilo, The O’Jays and Chick Corea) and drummer Simon Phillips (Toto, The Who, Judas Priest, David Gilmour and Jack Bruce). Born in Hamamatsu, Shizuoka, Japan on March 26, 1979, Hiromi’s piano lessons started when she was six. At this age, she also performed her first recital, enrolled in the Yamaha School of Music and started to write music. Hiromi moved to the United States in 1999 and she matriculated at the Berklee College of Music in Boston. Among her mentors at Berklee was the veteran jazz bassist/arranger Richard Evans, who teaches arranging and orchestration. It was Evans who took Hiromi’s demo tape to his friend and collaborator, the legendary pianist/bandleader Ahmad Jamal. Evans co-produced her debut CD, Another Mind, with Jamal. Another Mind was a critical success in North America and in her native Japan, where the album shipped gold (100,000 units) and received the Recording Industry Association of Japan’s (RIAJ) Jazz Album of the Year Award. Hiromi’s astonishing debut was but a forecast of the shape of jazz to come. Her second release, Brain, won the Horizon Award at the 2004 Surround Music Awards, Swing Journal’s New Star Award, Jazz Life’s Gold Album, HMV Japan’s Best Japanese Jazz Album and the Japan Music Pen Club’s Japanese Artist Award (the JMPC is a classical/jazz journalists club). Brain was also named Album of the Year in Swing Journal’s 2005 Readers Poll. In 2006, Hiromi won Best Jazz Act at the Boston Music Awards and the Guinness Jazz Festival’s Rising Star Award. She also claimed Jazzman of the Year, Pianist of the Year and Album of the Year in Swing Journal’s Readers Poll for her 2006 release, Spiral. Hiromi’s winning streak continued with the release of Time Control in 2007 and Beyond Standard in 2008. Both releases featured Sonicbloom: her hand-picked group that included guitarist Dave “Fuze” Fiuczynski, bassist Tony Grey and drummer Martin Valihora. Hiromi achieved a number of milestones in 2009. She recorded with pianist Chick Corea, who she met in Japan when she was seventeen, on Duet, a two-disc live recording of their transcendent, transgenerational and transcultural duo concert in Tokyo. She also appeared on bassist Stanley Clarke’s Heads Up International release, Jazz in the Garden, which also featured former Chick Corea bandmate, drummer Lenny White. In June of that same year, Hiromi simultaneously released two concert DVDs, both recorded in Tokyo: Hiromi Live in Concert (recorded in December 2005) and Hiromi’s Sonicbloom Live in Concert (recorded in December 2007). The former features the rhythm section of Grey and Valihora, while the latter includes Fiuczynski’s incendiary fretwork. In 2010, Hiromi released A Place to Be, an impressive and intimate solo piano CD; her evocative aural travelogue of the many places and spaces she visited around the world. 36 ANNENBERG CENTER LIVE She followed up A Place to Be with a DVD, Hiromi Solo Live at Blue Note New York. Recorded on August 20 and 21 of 2010 at the Blue Note in New York City, the video includes 11 originals and a special bonus feature with interview clips and performance footage from some of Hiromi’s favorite cities around the world. On her 2011 album, Voice, Hiromi’s goal was to capture people’s “inner voices” to create what she called a “three-dimensional sound.” On that album, she assembled a trio that included herself and two veteran players: contrabass guitarist Anthony Jackson and drummer Simon Phillips. While Hiromi had played with Jackson prior to recording Voice, she had never recorded an entire album with either him or Phillips, the latter who had been recommended to her by legendary bassist Stanley Clarke, a mutual acquaintance. Also in 2011, The Stanley Clarke Band CD featuring Hiromi won the Grammy® Award for Best Contemporary Jazz Album. While on the road, Hiromi started writing music for the follow-up CD, Move, released in 2013. Move, like Voice, had an overriding theme, which Hiromi describes as “time in one day.” That same year, she had several impressive placements in DownBeat magazine’s 61st Annual International Critics Poll, in the Jazz Artist, Piano, Keyboard and Rising Star: Piano categories. Also, in 2013, she performed at George Wein’s Newport Jazz Festival and performed there for the festival’s sixtieth anniversary in 2014. Simon Phillips (Drummer) Simon Phillips is by far one of the world's most renowned and respected drummers, whose style not only reflects his technical gift but also his distinct musical sensibility. Whether it is rock, fusion or jazz, Phillips applies the same precision and intensity to his drumming, which is never lacking in emotion and feel. Phillips’ professional musical career began at the early age of 12, performing and recording with his father's (Sid Phillips) Dixiel and band until he turned 16. With an offer to play in the musical Jesus Christ Superstar, his path was marked and his career was in full bloom. Phillips soon became one of London's most celebrated session drummers. To date, he has toured and recorded with many bands and artists, including Mick Jagger, The Who, Jeff Beck, Jack Bruce, Peter Gabriel, Joe Satriani, Tears for Fears, Judas Priest, Roxy Music, Michael Schenker, Nik Kershaw, Phd., Al DiMeola, 801, Pete Townshend, Russ Ballard, Robert Palmer, Stanley Clarke, The Pretenders, Jon Anderson, Whitesnake and Dave Gilmour. In 1992, Phillips decided to move to the USA, coinciding with being asked to join Toto for their world tour. He has remained a full time member ever since. After recording the Toto album "Tambu" in 1995, another year of touring followed in 1996, covering Europe, Japan, Southeast Asia and South America. In 1997, Phillips took a break from Toto in order to reach a personal milestone – he took his own band on tour, and for the first time he was the bandleader, and it was his music. This great year included tours of Europe, Japan and the United States, and a performance at The North Sea Jazz Festival. 1998 saw the recording of another Toto studio album entitled Mindfields, followed by two years of touring around the world, captured in the live CD Livefields. In 2002-03, Toto recorded Through the Looking Glass, and made extensive concert trips to Europe and Asia. Expanding his career from drumming to writing solo projects, Phillips recorded his first album Protocol in 1988, followed by Force Majeure in 1992. Symbiosis, which he recorded in 1995, was as spirited but more inspired than ever, and showed a change of direction in the compositions. Phillips likes to link his growth in songwriting and new artistic depth to his move to the States. The 1997 record Another Lifetime shows yet another layer of his tremendously resourceful playing and more motivated composing. Out of the Blue, a live album, followed in 1998 and in 1999, another complete change of style took place in Vantage Point, which is a straight jazz album. 15/16 Season 37 Yet another expansion to Phillips’ musical career is producing and engineering, which he first started back in England with British composer Mike Oldfield, working on three albums with him. Aside from his solo projects, Phillips also co-produced Toto's Tambu in 1995, followed by Mindfields in 1998. Phillips was asked to engineer the latest Toto album, and spent a couple of months during the winter of 2001-02 recording Through the Looking Glass. Phillips is currently back in his studio mixing a recently recorded show for the next Toto DVD. In 2000, Phillips took a break from Toto and recorded with Derek Sherinian, formally of Dream Theater, as well as produced and engineered Inertia. The following year included Moonbabies, the recording of progressive band Planet X, and mixing a live CD, Live From Oz. Anthony Jackson (Bassist) For over 40, years Anthony Jackson has been the bassist’s bassist: the man most admired by his peers and music fans alike for his groundbreaking groove work in jazz and pop with the likes of Billy Paul, the O’Jays, Buddy Rich, Roberta Flack, Chaka Khan, Chick Corea, Steely Dan, Donald Fagen, Paul Simon, Al DiMeola, Quincy Jones, Steve Khan’s Eyewitness, Luther Vandross, George Benson, Lee Ritenour, Michel Petrucciani, Pat Metheny, Michel Camilo, Mike Stern, Wayne Krantz and Hiromi. Jackson was born June 23, 1952 in New York City and after trying piano and guitar, he found his way to the bass guitar as a teen, inspired by Motown master James Jamerson. He added the key influences of Jefferson Airplane bassist Jack Casady and French modernist composer Olivier Messiaen.

    PRESS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Date: 14 June 2019 Jazz the Week Up with Latin American Music from Michel Camilo and Ernest Martinez Izquierdo Swire Denim Series: Jazz with Michel Camilo (14 & 15 June) [14 June 2019, Hong Kong] The Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra (HK Phil) is excited to have Dominican jazz pianist and composer Michel Camilo and his Grammy-award winning partner, conductor Ernest Martinez Izquierdo, bringing a jazzy evening to the Hong Kong audience. In this Latin jazz concert, Michel Camilo’s Piano Concerto no.1 will be presented in Hong Kong for the first time together with Gershwin’s all-time favourite Rhapsody in Blue at the Hong Kong City Hall Concert Hall on 14 & 15 June. Underpinning the evening is the Hong Kong premiere of Michel Camilo’s Piano Concerto no.1. The three-part fantasia showcases Camilo’s superhuman keyboard virtuosity with a tropical tint. The work encompasses traditions from his own background while echoing early 20th composers such as Stravinsky and Copland. Argentinean composer Ginastera is acclaimed for infusing national elements with modernism. Inspired by the life on the ranches in Argentina, the Estancia Suite has colourful orchestration and bold harmonies. Combined with a large complement of percussion instruments, conductor Ernest Martinez Izquierdo invites you on a dancing journey to Argentina. “While Camilo plays 'the ink' of Gershwin's scores [Rhapsody in Blue], he embellishes the works with grooves and accents.” --- Billboard The night will be concluded by the pulsating Rhapsody in Blue, Gershwin’s most popular concert work. With the trademark glissando opening by the clarinet, be ready to swing with Camilo’s groovy playing.

    PRESSEMITTEILUNG / 2. März 2016 20 Jahre palatia Jazz Festival „The Finest in Jazz“ Mit dem Sommer 2016 findet in der Zeit vom 25. Juni bis Ende Juli die 20. Festivalsaison an den wohl schönsten historischen Spielstätten in der Weinpfalz statt. Internationale Jazzstars und Deutsche Jazzensembles bieten ein aufregendes Musikprogramm. Zum Einlass ab 18.00 Uhr beginnt jeweils das Jazzkulinarium, bei welchem sich jeder Gast mit Wein und feinen Speisen auf die Konzertabende einstimmen kann. Am 19. Juni 1997 startete das erste Jazzfestival in der Weinstadt Deidesheim. Seinerzeit gab es in der Pfalz kaum Konzerte, die Jazz und jazzaffine Musik vorstellten. Bereits das erste Festival war binnen weniger Tage ausverkauft. Die Deidesheimer Winzerbetriebe stellten ihre schönen Weine vor und das älteste Gasthaus der Pfalz, „Die Kanne“ aus Deidesheim präsentierte eine genußvolle Auswahl von Speisen aus der mediterran‐pfälzischen Küche. Vor der Deidesheimer Stadthalle fand ein kulinarischer Markt statt, der ebenso Teil des Rahmenprogramms war und als „Markt der Genüsse“ bis heute weiterhin durchgeführt wird. Im ersten Festival spielten Albert Mangelsdorff, Wolfgang Dauner, Christof Lauer – sowie Klaus Doldingers Passport, Barbara Dennerlein und Tab Two mit Helmut Hattler und Joo Kraus. Der Anfang war gemacht. Das Festival hieß zu diesem Zeitpunkt Jazzette – Deidesheimer Jazztage und wurde noch ein weiteres Jahr unter diesem Namen fortgesetzt, bis es 1999 pfalzweit an einzigartigen historischen Plätzen der Pfalz unter dem Namen „palatia Jazz“ fortgesetzt wurde. Eine Konzertreihe von jährlich 10‐12 Konzerten – diese an unterschiedlichsten und unverwechselbaren Orten der Weinpfalz, wie die Villa Ludwigshöhe, die Klosterruine Limburg in Bad Dürkheim, der Krönungssaal in der Burg Trifels, der Festsaal im Hambacher Schloss, am Deutschen Weintor, im Park von Schloss Wachenheim usw.

  • Daniel Lanois
    ESPERANZA SPALDING If “esperanza” is the Spanish word for hope, then bassist, vocalist and composer Esperanza Spalding could not have been given a more fitting name at birth. Blessed with uncanny instrumental chops, a multi-lingual voice that is part angel and part siren, and a natural beauty that borders on the hypnotic, the 25-year-old prodigy-turned-pro might well be the hope for the future of jazz and instrumental music. Spalding was born in 1984 and raised on what she calls “the other side of the tracks” in a multi- lingual household and neighborhood in Portland, Oregon. Growing up in a single-parent home amid economically adverse circumstances, she learned early lessons in the meaning of perseverance and moral character from the role model whom she holds in the highest regard to this day – her mother. But even with a rock-solid role model, school did not come easy to Spalding, although not for any lack of intellectual acumen. She was both blessed and cursed with a highly intuitive learning style that often put her at odds with the traditional education system. On top of that, she was shut in by a lengthy illness as a child, and as a result, was home-schooled for a significant portion of her elementary school years. In the end, she never quite adjusted to learning by rote in the conventional school setting. “It was just hard for me to fit into a setting where I was expected to sit in a room and swallow everything that was being fed to me,” she recalls.

  • In the Studio: the Role of Recording Techniques in Rock Music (2006)
    21 In the Studio: The Role of Recording Techniques in Rock Music (2006) John Covach I want this record to be perfect. Meticulously perfect. Steely Dan-perfect. -Dave Grohl, commencing work on the Foo Fighters 2002 record One by One When we speak of popular music, we should speak not of songs but rather; of recordings, which are created in the studio by musicians, engineers and producers who aim not only to capture good performances, but more, to create aesthetic objects. (Zak 200 I, xvi-xvii) In this "interlude" Jon Covach, Professor of Music at the Eastman School of Music, provides a clear introduction to the basic elements of recorded sound: ambience, which includes reverb and echo; equalization; and stereo placement He also describes a particularly useful means of visualizing and analyzing recordings. The student might begin by becoming sensitive to the three dimensions of height (frequency range), width (stereo placement) and depth (ambience), and from there go on to con­ sider other special effects. One way to analyze the music, then, is to work backward from the final product, to listen carefully and imagine how it was created by the engineer and producer. To illustrate this process, Covach provides analyses .of two songs created by famous producers in different eras: Steely Dan's "Josie" and Phil Spector's "Da Doo Ron Ron:' Records, tapes, and CDs are central to the history of rock music, and since the mid 1990s, digital downloading and file sharing have also become significant factors in how music gets from the artists to listeners. Live performance is also important, and some groups-such as the Grateful Dead, the Allman Brothers Band, and more recently Phish and Widespread Panic-have been more oriented toward performances that change from night to night than with authoritative versions of tunes that are produced in a recording studio.

Well thanks for downloading this eBook, I sure hope it helps put some of your educational queries in perspective. What we have here is a small select group of musical perfectionists, all of whom have dedicated their lives to mastering the art of jazz guitar at the highest level. Jazz guitar instruction it seems is very personal and all who teach it usually teach their own methods and systems with fervor. It's also quite interesting to me how one great player can have a whole different slant on teaching jazz than another. Because instruction seems so personal I wanted to invite some of the world's finest players and educators to answer exactly the same questions. This way we could find out what really was common to all and what was not. The answers were fascinating and it only confirmed how unique everybody is in the jazz guitar world.
